A quick reminder of a few things Mozilla/Firefox have done in the last *checks notes* ~year that I hope highlights that this is not a case of bad messaging but a consistent pattern of hostility:
- "Mozilla is going to be more active in digital advertising."
- "privacy preserving" Advertising telemetry enabled by default
- New T&C demanding a worldwide license (rolled back) & weakened privacy policy to support the above expansion (active)
- ""[Firefox] will evolve into a modern AI browser"

Found what looks like an #NVDA bug, or possibly #notepad++ bug. An & followed by a space will read a fake command key suggestion when changing focus to the notepad++ window.
NVDA: 2025.3.2.
Notepad++: 8.8.8.
Minimum reproduction:
Open notepad++, if a file is open use ctrl-n for new.
Type the following string in the file: "& ".
Alt-tab in and out. On the focus, NVDA will announce "alt+space".
I just wanted to read before bed.

anyone in Europe want to trade 12 x 16GB (192GB) DDR4 UDIMM (Samsung M391A2K43BB1) for some number of DDR4 RDIMM? ideally at least 128GB worth
@emeraldonion is building a replacement proxmox server in Amsterdam for disobey.net and it needs RDIMM, and RAM prices right now are so terrible 😟

Dear @thunderbird Team,
syncing the mail account data by qr code works in both ways Android2Ubuntu and Ubuntu2Android.
But I'm missing, extracting the private keys for PGP.
I knew there is a 3rd party app needed like openkeychain, importing the keys.
That is an obstacle for unexperienced users.

This article answers common questions about OpenPGP support in Thunderbird, as implemented in End-To-End Encryption (e2ee), and how it differs from Enigmail.support.mozilla.org
Thanks for the reply.
I know how to do that. But currently it is a handjob and needs to be done on every mobile device.
I have my Desktop proflie since centuries, copying and duplicating from Windows to Linux and vice versa with just copy & paste the profile folder was easy going. (And it was very handy to have these as a backup).
So my request is mostly for standard users.
If you've been wanting to speak securely to your garage door or whatever MQTTS capable devices you want to control with your #curl command lines, look no further:

RED ALERT
U.S.-based independent contractors, like myself, are about to have our health care costs triple.
Many of us have two weeks to reinvent ourselves and this WILL harm Free and Open Source efforts.
At best, we will volunteer less. At worst, key contributors will cease participation.
I am happy to discuss strategies to preserve what so many have worked to hard to build.
@thunderbird should at least open a path to allow us to replace their OpenPGP implementation, RNP, with other implementations, like @sequoiapgp's Octopus.
Integrating #Enigmail was not seamless. Functionality was lost, including #GnuPG's keyring and trust model. (e.g.: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.…)
They may have their rationale on which they made these decisions, but the negative effect on the usability of Thunderbird+PGP for those who have them for many years is real.

I installed FreeBSD 15 on Vultr and the psychos set /etc/hosts to
127.0.0.1 vultr.guest
::1 vultr.guest
so you know what that does when software wants to resolve "localhost"?
#FreeSoftwareAdvent day 13: Thunderbird
I've used various open source email clients over the years, but right now, my email client of choice is Thunderbird, on desktop and mobile. When I installed the mobile app, I was pleased to find that I could create a QR code on the desktop that my phone could scan to set up my accounts there. Much simpler and quicker than manually entering all the account details.
One of Thunderbird's killer features for me is the Send Later add-on. I have it configured so that when I click "Send" on an email, it delays sending by five minutes. That gives me a chance to realise that I'd missed something, and edit the email before sending.
But it can also set a much longer delay. Sometimes I work in the evening, but any emails that I write then are scheduled to be sent the next morning at a more sensible time.

Would you be willing to skip upgrading your computer/laptop/smartphone for a year and give that same amount of money to Mozilla so they don't have to raise funds through ads or AI related partnerships?
We're talking anywhere from $500-$2000

TIL why Sun Microsystems (Bill Joy and all) bought an office suite company in 1999. 🤨
"In August 1999, Star Division was acquired by Sun Microsystems[81][82] for US$59.5 million (equivalent to US$112 million in 2024), reportedly because the acquisition was less expensive than licensing Microsoft Office for Sun's 42,000 employees.[83][84]"

Why would the Firefox flatpak do this:
- a) Updated it automatically circa 1 month ago; it lost all my containers and sessions. I think it restarted empty.
- b) Updated it automatically about 5 days ago; again it lost all my containers and sessions, and restarted with my REALLY OLD windows and tabs from before (a).
Neither update lost my bookmarks or anything critical. I just have to re-do my logins in the appropriate containers; no big deal, but it's annoying.

in reply to Sarah Jamie Lewis • • •The leaders of an organization keep making announcements like "we are building the torment nexus", "we are a torment nexus company"
How much do you really weight a follow up PR statement on a smaller dev channel along the lines of: "we promise to give you a kill switch for the torment nexus that will probably be opt-in for some definition of opt-in....we can reasonably agree that opt-in is a vague term right?"
But keep following them down that road I guess...
Sarah Jamie Lewis
in reply to Sarah Jamie Lewis • • •Opt-in means that the person needs to perform an explicit action in order to do something. Ideally it means that they do that action of their own accord, without being harassed. They do that because the software/features/whatever is exciting and/or solves a real problem they have.
Something so good you don't have to trick them into turning it on.
You know, like that time 20+ years ago when people actively sought out and downloaded Firefox because it was simply the better option.
